1/ - New week, new breach, and new thread. Previous week's thread can be found here:
https://twitter.com/danehrlich11/status/1443649257387565056?s=21@epikfailleaks @davetroy @emilymolli @MikaelThalen
2/ - and also here:
https://twitter.com/danehrlich11/status/1441648462563512320?s=21. Many of these are early conclusions and will change as the data becomes better and more sources come forward.
3/ - First revelation. @ClaremontInst and @CMCnews are hosting their Usenet group, new.claremont.edu, on @Giganews and #DataFoundry, who are being investigated for child pornography by the State of New Mexico and @Austin_Police: ladailypost.com/ag-balderas-ex…
4/ - Giganews / DataFoundry were also, inexplicably, hosting a series of @DHSgov fusion centers for #Netsential as revealed months ago by #BlueLeaks ... #DDoSecrets #EmmaBest @SilvermanJacob
6/ - Epik was doing billing through @whmcs. The history of shared web hosting (@cPanel) and reselling is replete with affiliate marketing scams and the like. As best I can tell, based on the logs, all hosting corps that bill through @whmcs are part of some yet undocumented
11/ - From the #PandoraPapers, @TridentTrustInt owns the domain "villamarina.com" via @Epik, and for 6 months between 2020 - 2021 hosted the domain on @natcoweb, which was implicated in the #SolarWinds hack @ICIJorg 
13/ - Extensive hosting by @OANN on @EpikDotCom. Even the infamous and Ukranian based @natcoweb paging @br4dm4l0n3y ...
14/ - Very excellent thread for those poking around the Gitlab image:

15/ - The latest drama:
https://twitter.com/chadloder/status/1448316700424687618
16/ - @robmonster founded the company #GMI and led it until 2008 when he left to found @EpikDotCom. He still retains an active role. #GMI now operates as @Kantar, which is 50% @WPP and 50% @BainCapital (@BainAlerts). What is Rob Monster's association with the world's largest
18/ - The head of #GMI today, which operates in parallel to or as a subsidiary to @Kantar (it is not clear), is the former Belarus Intelligence Officer of the Belarus KGB "Leonid Solodukhin". Leonid today lives in Lithuania, which would explain the .li TLD
19/ - of @EpikDotCom sister company @sibyl_ltd (sibyl.li). Further more, @robmonster, has previously worked very closely with either Chinese State Security or the PLA. This below recommendation he gave to Patrick Pun, now CEO of #NewCogs in Shanghai, is fascinating
20/ - Patrick Pun's CFO went to the esteemed Nanjing University of Science and Technology. Part of the "Seven Sons of National Defense". Incredible.
21/ - The rest of the executive team of NewCogs, which spun out of Rob Monster's #GMI, also has similar backgrounds. Why would Rob Monster, even if unknowingly, work w/ so many top level foreign intelligence and military officials from Russia, China, and Eastern Europe? @jxw8856
22/ - Currently reading "The Domain Game: How People Get Rich From Internet Domain Names" by @davidkesmodel (former @WSJ) amazon.com/dp/1436332273/. A great primer on how a misfit band of Web 1.0 investors became a powerful mafia with links (we now know) to intelligence agencies.
23/ - @Frank_Schilling @tucows @Uniregistry. Keep in mind @tucows was founded by one of the founders of #RenaissanceTechnologies and good friend of #RobertMercer.
24/ - @Chick_in_Kiev "With his help, I found the Daily Stormer’s IP address, which turned out to be registered to a Canadian company called Frantech Solutions. It was here that I encountered Francisco Dias, the founder of Frantech and two affiliated companies, BuyVM & Buyshared"
25/ - "Through his companies, Dias rents out servers in Las Vegas, New Jersey, and Luxembourg—the last of which, according to BuyVM’s site, offers especially 'strong privacy and freedom of speech laws.'" ... @Chick_in_Kiev let me add one more city ... Cheyenne, WY @rocco_castoro
26/ - Nick Lim (of @EpikDotCom) runs @VanwaTech, and they only peers with 3 networks ... #FranTech is one of them. They are located in a building that comes up extensively in the Panama Papers as well in historic downtown Cheyenne: bgpview.io/asn/53667
27/ - This network has been caught before distributing state sponsored malware in the US - bromium.com/mapping-malwar… @visitwyoming
28/ - S. Carolina links getting pretty interesting. Nikki Haley, her brother @gogirandhawa, his web design firm @msndrstdcreated, the web design firm behind serial murder /atty Alex Murdaugh's firm @BlueIon, and Russian weapons importer @PalmettoArmory: vanityfair.com/style/2021/10/…
29/ - @NikkiHaley of course too. Married to MAJ Michael Haley of @SCNationalGuard. Michael entered foster care as an infant, and was adopted at 4. From Ohio. When Haley was governor in 2012, a historically significant breach of SC Gov's database occurred: nytimes.com/2012/11/06/us/…
30/ - South Carolina attorney with ominous links to Russians, the 2012 hacking of SC servers, serial murdering, and embezzlement: vanityfair.com/style/2021/10/…
31/ - And what happened to the South Carolina governor before @NikkiHaley? @MarkSanford was mysteriously driven out of office after @007 - style sneaking out to Argentina for an affair ... or to meet his intel handlers ... or something: nytimes.com/2009/06/25/us/…
32/ - @MikaelThalen if you happen to get your hands on the @WeAreSinclair data in the next few days / weeks please do share :) Just need one more data set to round out what's been put together with the #EpikFail and @Twitch leaks: npr.org/2021/10/18/104…
33/ - [Holds revolvers up to face, puffs smoke away / out of each barrel. Holsters the weapons.]
